VünderBra! is a comedic history of the humble bra set in a site specific venue. Meet Claire-Faye & Sebrena. These polar opposite personalities work in VünderBra! a lingerie shop situated in Newtown.

Today is a particularly stressful day for our young protagonists: Sebrena, a new age flower child, finds a notice from the Wellington City Council to say that the demolition of the building which houses the shop will begin in three weeks. Where as Clare-Faye, the spoilt Daddy's girl, is anxious to further her career - with out actually doing any real work. There's a VIP customer evening to prepare for, and there's conflict surrounding who will get next weekend off. Sebrena needs to be in Levin for a medieval themed wedding while Claire-Faye needs to represent at a Hip-Hop expo in Roto-Vegas?

Creating even more tension: the International Bra Fitters Examinations are looming.

This charming, day-in-the-life comedy introduces other characters you would only meet in retail and is packed with quirky facts about the history of the brassiere. The audience is taken on a fascinating and often hilarious journey through time and fashion.

Kate McGill and Sophie Hambleton are co-founders of The Wombling Strumpets and the devisors, writers and performers of VünderBra!, this is their 1st collaboration.
